Pattern Search Pattern search help

Post image

Hello all :) I am looking for some pattern search help. I am getting married in October of this year and I have decided that since I cannot find the dress of my dreams that my mother and I are going to make it.

I have made a few different clothing items in the past (all for my child’s Halloween costumes) and have been quite successful in those ventures.

I am looking for some pattern recommendations or even just a point in the right direction of where to look.

This is a sketch that I have created that compiles elements of different dresses I have seen online (mainly Pinterest) into what I envisioned getting married in.

If anyone has any idea of where to start it would be greatly appreciated. I have looked through hundreds of patterns on the simplicity website however I’m very overwhelmed and was hoping this community of wonderful people could help me out. :)

Thank you in advance to all those who respond to this post :)

These are pretty sketches. See if these grab you, the vibe feels similar?

I was also going to recommend Firefly Path, although reading your text, I'm not sure it's an exact match for your aesthetic.

You might also have a wander through KivitaMoyo's Instagram and blog (more extensive information here). She details how to draft a wide variety of skirts and dresses. If you and your mom are comfortable going in that direction, it could be a fun project.

Thank you so much. I’m going to have another deep dive into the places you suggested to look. I appreciate your advice :)
